Tzatziki Sauce

by Pam on August 12, 2013

I wanted to make a batch of tzatiki sauce for some gyros I was making for dinner. I found an Ina Garten^[1] recipe that looked perfect. It took only a few minutes to make and turned out delicious. It was tangy, creamy, and flavorful – I loved the texture. This sauce is great for sandwiches and as a dip for pita chips or veggies and it tasted fantastic in the gyros I made for dinner.

Place the yogurt in a bowl. Grate the cucumber and squeeze the grated cucumber with your hand to remove some of the liquid. Add the cucumber pulp to the yogurt along with the sour cream, lemon juice and zest, vinegar, dill, garlic, sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste; stir. Place into the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes prior to serving so flavors have time to mingle. Enjoy.

Whenever I do ethnic recipes like this Greek tzatziki sauce,
I’ll usually go online and listen to an audio dictionary or some YouTube videos
to verify the pronunciation. Of
course, just listening to it doesn’t mean I’ll actually be able to pronounce it
that way. A western New York accent is a strange and unpredictable thing, but
at least I know how far off I am.

This time things were a little different. I must have listened to a half-dozen
examples, and they all were fairly unique. Everything from how I say it,
TA-ZEE-KEY, to something that sounded a lot like CHA-CHEE-KEE, which, by the
way, is my new favorite way to say it. Just for fun, maybe you all can leave
your best phonetic spelling of “Tzatziki” in the comments section, and we’ll
see what the consensus is.

Unlike the pronunciation, one thing that everyone will agree
on is that this garlicky yogurt sauce is truly of one of the world’s great
condiments. This is quite literally delicious on anything savory, and with
grilling season upon us, you’ll want this one in your regular rotation. I hope
you give it a try soon. Enjoy!

Make about 3 cups of Tzatziki:

2 cups Greek yogurt

1 large cucumber, peeled, grated, tossed with 1/2 teaspoon
of salt

4 cloves garlic, very finely minced

juice of half a lemon or vinegar to taste

3 tbsp chopped fresh dill and/or mint

salt, pepper, cayenne to taste
